Destiny 2 Best Hunter Subclass Forsaken
By Emily Johnson
Introduction
As a long-time player of Destiny 2, I’ve spent countless hours exploring the game’s various subclasses and abilities. One of the most exciting aspects of the game is the ability to customize your character to your playstyle. In this article, I’ll be sharing my experiences and insights on the best Hunter subclass in the Forsaken expansion.
Key Information
- The Hunter class is known for its agility and precision
- The Forsaken expansion introduced new subclasses for each class
- The three Hunter subclasses in Forsaken are Way of the Wraith, Way of a Thousand Cuts, and Way of the Sharpshooter
- Each subclass has unique abilities and perks that cater to different playstyles
My Experience
After trying out all three Hunter subclasses in Forsaken, I found myself gravitating towards the Way of a Thousand Cuts. The ability to throw multiple knives at once and the increased melee damage made for a fun and satisfying gameplay experience. I also appreciated the ability to dodge more frequently, allowing me to quickly move in and out of combat.
While the Way of the Wraith offered a stealthy approach and the Way of the Sharpshooter allowed for deadly precision, neither subclass quite fit my playstyle as well as the Way of a Thousand Cuts.
One strategy I found particularly effective was combining the Thousand Cuts ability with the Exotic chest piece Ophidia Spathe, which grants an additional knife charge. This allowed me to unleash a flurry of knives on enemies, dealing massive damage.
